Subtituted indole mannich bases

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to substituted indole Mannich bases of formula (I), a method for the production thereof, medicaments containing said compounds and the use of said compounds in the production of medicaments, especially medicaments that are used to treat pain. In formula (I), R1,R2, R4-R7 have the meanings cited in claim 1, R3=formula (a) and R13=(substituted) phenyl.

[0001] The invention relates to substituted indole Mannich bases, processes for their preparation, medicaments comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds for the preparation of medicaments.

[0002] Pain is one of the basic clinical symptoms. There is a worldwide need for effective pain treatment. The urgent need for action for target-orientated treatment of chronic and non-chronic states of pain appropriate for the patient, by which is to be understood successful and satisfactory pain treatment for the patient, is documented in the large number of scientific works which have been published in the field of applied analgesia and basic research in nociception in recent years.

[0003] Conventional opioids, such as e.g. morphine, are effective in the treatment of severe to very severe pain. However, they have as undesirable concomitant symptoms, inter alia, respiratory depression, vomiting, sedation, constipation and development of tolerance.

[0004] Tramadol hydrochloride—(1RS,2RS)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cyclohexanol—occupies a special position among analgesics having an action on the central nervous system, since this active compound brings about potent inhibition of pain without the side effects known of opioids (J. Pharmacol. Exptl. Ther. 267, 33 (1993)). Research is being conducted worldwide into further pain-inhibiting agents.

[0005] The object of the present invention was therefore to provide new compounds which are suitable in particular as active compounds in medicaments.

[0006] These active compounds should be suitable in particular for pain treatment and for treatment of inflammatory and allergic reactions, drug and/or alcohol abuse, diarrhoea, gastritis, ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, urinary incontinence, depression, states of shock, migraines, narcolepsy, excess weight, asthma, glaucoma, hyperkinetic syndrome, lack of drive, bulimia, anorexia and/or catalepsy, for anxiolysis, for increasing vigilance and/or for increasing libido.

[0007] This object is achieved according to the invention by providing substituted indole Mannich bases of the following general formula I which have a pronounced analgesic action, in particular also on chronic pain, and which moreover are suitable for treatment of/combating inflammatory and allergic reactions, drug and/or alcohol abuse, diarrhoea, gastritis, ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, urinary incontinence, depression, states of shock, migraines, narcolepsy, excess weight, asthma, glaucoma, hyperkinetic syndrome, lack of drive, bulimia, anorexia and/or catalepsy, for anxiolysis, for increasing vigilance and/or for increasing libido.

[0008] The present invention therefore relates to substituted indole Mannich bases of the general formula I

[0158] wherein the radicals R¹ and R³=H and the radicals R², R⁴ to R¹² and R¹⁶ to R²¹ have the meaning according to the general formula I, and the compounds of the general formula VI obtained in this way, in which R¹=H and the radicals R² to R²¹ have the meaning according to the general formula I, are reacted in solution, preferably in dimethylsulfoxide, with compounds of the general formula XR²², in which the radical R²² denotes a C₁₋₁₀-alkyl radical or an aryl or heteroaryl radical bonded via a C₁₋₆-alkylene group, preferably a C₁₋₆-alkyl radical or an aryl radical bonded via a C₁₋₂-alkylene group, and X=Cl, Br or I, preferably Cl, at a temperature of preferably 10 to 150° C. in the presence of a base, preferably triethylamine or potassium tert-butylate, and the compounds of the general formula I obtained in this way, in which R¹ represents a C₁₋₁₀-alkyl radical or an aryl or heteroaryl radical bonded via a C₁₋₆-alkylene group and the other radicals R² to R²¹ have the meaning according to the general formula I, are purified by filtration, preferably by filtration over a scavenger resin, particularly preferably by filtration over polymer-bonded tris(2-aminoethyl)-amine (Novabiochem, Bad Soden) and/or 3-(3-mercaptophenyl)propane-amidomethylpolystyrene (Argonaut, Muttenz, Switzerland), and are isolated by conventional methods.

[0159] The synthesis of the substituted indole Mannich bases according to the invention is preferably carried out on an automatic unit from Zymark according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as described below.

[0160] The substituted indole Mannich bases of the general formula I according to the invention can be converted into their salts in a manner known per se to the expert with physiologically tolerated acids, preferably with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid and/or aspartic acid. The salt formation is preferably carried out in a solvent, particularly preferably in diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, acetic acid alkyl esters, acetone and/or 2-butanone. The salt formation is very particularly preferably carried out with trimethylchlorosilane in methyl ethyl ketone.

[0161] The substituted indole Mannich bases of the general formula I according to the invention are toxicologically acceptable and are therefore suitable pharmaceutical active compounds.

[0162] The invention therefore also provides medicaments which comprise, as the active compound, at least one substituted indole Mannich base of the general formula I and optionally further active compounds and/or auxiliary substances.

[0163] The medicament can preferably also comprise as the active compound a mixture of enantiomers of at least one substituted indole Mannich base of the general formula I, the mixture preferably not comprising equimolar amounts of the enantiomers. The relative proportion of one of the enantiomers is particularly preferably 5 to 45 mol %, very particularly preferably 10 to 40 mol %, based on the mixture of the enantiomers.

[0164] The medicaments are preferably employed for treatment of/combating pain, in particular chronic pain, and/or inflammatory reactions and/or allergic reactions and/or drug abuse and/or alcohol abuse and/or diarrhoea and/or gastritis and/or ulcers and/or cardiovascular diseases and/or urinary incontinence and/or depression and/or states of shock and/or migraines and/or narcolepsy and/or excess weight and/or asthma and/or glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome and/or lack of drive and/or bulimia and/or anorexia and/or catalepsy and/or for anxiolysis and/or for increasing vigilance and/or for increasing libido.

[0165] The present invention also provides the use of at least one substituted indole Mannich base of the general formula I according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament for treatment of/combating pain, in particular chronic pain, and/or inflammatory reactions and/or allergic reactions and/or drug abuse and/or alcohol abuse and/or diarrhoea and/or gastritis and/or ulcers and/or cardiovascular diseases and/or urinary incontinence and/or depression and/or states of shock and/or migraines and/or narcolepsy and/or excess weight and/or asthma and/or glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome and/or lack of drive and/or bulimia and/or anorexia and/or catalepsy and/or for anxiolysis and/or for increasing vigilance and/or for increasing libido.

[0166] In addition to at least one substituted indole Mannich base of the general formula I, carrier materials, fillers, solvents, diluents, dyestuffs and/or binders are employed for formulating appropriate pharmaceutical formulations. The choice of auxiliary substances depends on whether the medicament is to be administered orally, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intranasally, buccally or locally, for example on infections of the skin, the mucous membranes and the eyes. The formulations in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, granules, drops, juices and syrups are suitable for oral administration, and solutions, suspensions, easily reconstitutable dry formulations and sprays are suitable for parenteral, topical and inhalatory administration.

[0167] The indole Mannich bases of the general formula I according to the invention in a depot in dissolved form or in a patch, optionally with the addition of agents which promote penetration through the skin, are suitable formulations for percutaneous administration. The compounds of the general formula I according to the invention can be released from oral or percutaneous formulation forms in a delayed manner.

[0168] Pharmacological Studies:

[0169] 1.) In vitro Tests

[0170] Wide-ranging testing of the indole Mannich bases according to the invention for their activity was carried out by the conventional high throughput screening methods, such as are described in John P. Devlin, High Throughput Screening, 1997, Marcel Dekker Inc. They are introduced here as a reference and are therefore part of the disclosure.

[0171] The action of the indole Mannich bases according to the invention is determined in particular by the affinity for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family, for (α-adrenergic receptors and opioid receptors.

[0172] The investigations of the inhibition of serotonin re-uptake (5-HT uptake inhibition) were carried out by the methods such as are described in M.Ch. Frink, H.-H. -Hennies, W. Englberger, M. Haurand and B. Wilffert, Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug. Res. 46 (III), 11, 1996, pages 1029-1036. They are introduced herewith as reference and thus form part of the disclosure.

[0173] To carry out these investigations, synaptosomes were freshly isolated from rat brain areas. In each case the so-called “P2” fraction was used, which was prepared according to the instructions in E. G. Gray and V. P. Whittaker, J. Anat. 76, pages 79-88, 1962. This literature is introduced herewith as reference and thus forms part of the disclosure. For determination of the 5-HT uptake, these vesicular particles were isolated from the pons and medulla oblongata region of the male rat brain.

[0174] The following characteristic data were determined for the 5-HT transporter:

[0175] 5-HT uptake: K_(m)=0.084±0.011 μM

[0176] V_(max): 38.13±4.52 pmol/min/mg protein.

[0177] The results of the investigations are in each case stated as means from 2 parallel experiments.

[0178] 2.) Analgesia Test in the Writhing Test in Mice

[0179] The in-depth investigation of the compounds according to the invention for their analgesic activity was carried out in the phenylquinone-induced writhing in mice (modified by I. C. Hendershot, J. Forsaith, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 125, 237-240 (1959)). Male NMRI mice weighing 25-30 g were used for this. Groups of 10 animals per substance dose received 0.3 ml/mouse of a 0.02% aqueous solution of phenylquinone (phenylbenzoquinone, Sigma, Deisenhofen; preparation of the solution with the addition of 5% ethanol and storage in a water bath at 45° C.) administered intraperitoneally 10 minutes after intravenous administration of the test substances. The animals were placed individually in observation cages. The number of pain-induced stretching movements (so-called writhing reactions=straightening of the body with stretching of the hind extremities) were counted by means of a push-button counter for 5-20 minutes after the administration of phenylquinone. Animals which received only physiological saline solution were also run as a control.

[0180] The substances were tested in the standard dose of 10 mg/kg. The inhibition of the writhing reactions by a substance was calculated according to the following equation: ${\% \quad {inhibition}} = {100 - \left\lbrack {\frac{\begin{matrix} {{writhing}\quad {reaction}\quad {of}} \\ {{treated}\quad {animals}} \end{matrix}}{{writhing}\quad {reaction}\quad {of}\quad {control}} \times 100} \right\rbrack}$

[0181] The following examples serve to illustrate the invention, but do not limit the general inventive idea.

EXAMPLES

[0182] General Synthesis Instructions for the Preparation of Aminal Compounds of the General Formula IV:

[0183] General Synthesis Instructions 1:

[0184] 1.0 equivalent of the particular aromatic aldehyde compound of the general formula II was slowly added dropwise, while stirring at 20° C., to 2.7 equivalents of a 40% solution of the particular secondary amine with the general formula III. The solution was then subsequently stirred at a temperature of 80° C. for a further 30 minutes and then cooled to room temperature, and 0.57 equivalent of potassium carbonate was added. Two phases were formed here and were separated from one another, the aqueous phase being extracted three times with 100 ml ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases were dried over potassium carbonate and freed from the solvent. The aminal compounds of the general formula IV obtained in this way were then employed in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

[0185] General Synthesis Instructions 2:

[0186] 1.6 equivalents of boric acid anhydride were added to a solution of 1.0 equivalent of the particular aromatic aldehyde compound of the general formula II in 80 ml absolute toluene. A solution of 2.4 equivalents of a secondary amine of the general formula III in 85 ml absolute toluene was then added with vigorous stirring. Starting of the reaction could be seen by a significant increase in temperature. The reaction solution was then subsequently stirred at a temperature of 45 to 50° C. for a further two hours. After cooling to room temperature the excess boric acid anhydride was separated off and the filtrate was freed from the solvent.
